<\/p>\nIt has come to light that legendary Beach Boys vocalist Brian Wilson is afflicted with dementia, some weeks following the untimely death of his wife Melinda.<\/p>\n
The tragic news comes as Wilson’s family, who are 81 years old, have banded together to suggest a conservatorship to make sure Wilson gets the help and attention he needs.<\/p>\n
According to Hello!, court records explore the I Get Around singer’s mental health issues across the years,<\/p>\n
describing how he currently faces cognitive impairments that limit his ability to operate normally and engage with others.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
On social media, Wilson, 81, shared the news and wrote, \u2018My heart is broken.\u2019 Melinda was not just my spouse. <\/p>\n
She saved my life. She provided the emotional stability I required in order to pursue a profession. She inspired me to compose the music I was most passionate about.<\/p>\n
My heart is shattered. My dear wife of 28 years, Melinda, died away this morning. Me and our five kids are just…<\/p>\n
Brian Wilson wrote this on Tuesday, January 30, 2024. Wilson battled mental health issues for decades, including schizoaffective illness and bipolar disorder,<\/p>\n
even during the height of his success and recognition with The Beach Boys. Melinda was largely recognized for saving Wilson’s life.<\/p>\n
Eugene Landy, Wilson’s controversial psychiatrist, had gained considerable control over Wilson’s career and company by the 1980s. <\/p>\n
In addition to prescribing Wilson mental health treatments, Landy also kept a share of Wilson’s songwriting income. Wilson later had him as his legal guardian.<\/p>\n
Melinda was the one who likely saved his life by releasing him from this toxic relationship. When Melinda, a Cadillac salesperson at the time, gave Brian a car, the two got together in 1986.<\/p>\n
After three years of dating, Melinda subsequently told the Washington Post that Landy \u2018decided we were getting too close\u2019 and ended the relationship.<\/p>\n
In 1992, Brian and Melinda reconciled, and the Wilson family served Landy with a restraining order prohibiting him from communicating with Brian. <\/p>\n
Melinda took on the role of both manager and wife for Brian, giving him stability and improved mental health, which enabled him to launch a late-career musical comeback.<\/p>\n

which includes his seven children and dependable caregiver Gloria Ramos, to support the 81-year-old as he fights dementia.<\/p>\n
\u2018We are confirming that longtime Wilson family representatives LeeAnn Hard and Jean Sievers will serve <\/p>\n
as Brian’s co-conservators of the person following the passing of Brian’s beloved wife Melinda, <\/p>\n
after careful consideration and consultation among Brian, his seven children, Gloria Ramos, and Brian’s doctors (and consistent with family <\/p>\n
processes put in place by Brian and Melinda),\u2019 the Wilson family released a statement to the DailyMail.<\/p>\n
